Details of the Proposed Credit Facility
VIVK signed a non-binding term sheet with an undisclosed wholesaler for a $40 million commodity intermediation facility. The facility will provide credit support through letters of credit, surety bonds, cash deposits, and guarantees. It will serve as a working capital and credit support arrangement for Vivakor Supply & Trading, LLC (VST).
VST will manage transportation, logistics, and the sale of crude oil, maintaining full operational control over trading activities. VIVK expects the arrangement to enhance trading efficiency by integrating credit support directly into its crude oil operations. The facility will operate for one year with up to $40 million in total credit availability.
VST plans to leverage its trucking fleet, gathering pipelines, and terminal facilities to ensure seamless delivery operations. VIVK aims to enhance supply-chain performance and expand its trading presence in key energy markets. The proposed structure is designed to strengthen liquidity and enable more stable commodity flows.
Growth Strategy and Market Outlook
VIVK continues to advance its strategy to diversify crude oil marketing through integrated financial and logistical operations. The company targets consistent growth by combining strong credit support with its physical infrastructure capabilities. This dual approach enhances its ability to capture greater market share and ensure operational resilience.
The facility supports Vivakor’s long-term goal to expand its energy trading segment and generate accretive revenue streams. By improving credit access, the company can manage larger transaction volumes while maintaining flexibility in dynamic market conditions. VIVK views this initiative as a key step toward building a more sustainable trading platform.
Execution of the definitive agreements remains under negotiation, with a target closing date set for October 30, 2025. Once finalized, the arrangement will mark another milestone in Vivakor’s expansion into integrated crude oil operations. VIVK continues to reinforce its position as a growing energy services and trading enterprise through disciplined capital deployment and operational execution.
